Ke$Ha Slams Spears For Miming

KE$HA has slammed BRITNEY SPEARS for miming on her CIRCUS tour, insisting the pop star cheated her fans by not singing live.

Spears was blasted for lip-synching on her global trek last year (09), with some disgruntled audience members in Australia reportedly walking out of the shows.

And now the TiK ToK hitmaker has joined the list of critics taking aim at Spears for her lacklustre vocal efforts.

She tells Showbiz Spy, “I think that’s bulls**t. I don’t think that’s fair at all for people who are going to see the show. I think if you are going to be a singer, you should sing. If you are going to be a dancer, you should dance. If you are going to do a combination of the two, you should make it very clear when you are singing and very clear when you are dancing. I would never do that to my fans.

“No offence to her specifically but people have asked me before to mime. I have been up at three in the morning for a television show with jet lag but I refuse to mime.

“It’s treating people as if they are too stupid to realise you are not actually singing. Sometimes it is hard to sing and dance at the same time but I would rather be off (key) and be real and genuine about it to my fans. I don’t want to treat my fans like they are stupid.

“That is my take on my fans and life in general. My whole record is super-honest. I am really honest. When I am singing I may sound s**t sometimes but at least you’ll know I’m singing.”

I think when you inserted the word key into the quotation you may have meant pitch. Being off key would imply that she's singing in a different key than the backup music, meaning almost none of the notes would sound good, and cadences wouldn't happen; where as singing off pitch would mean that one note is a little flat or sharp.

Britney Spears. You can't put a singer through such claims. The artist stand as a creator of the show, It is not a fair claim, and I do not understand, how it could be better so. Music is for grooving.

Heya! maybe Brit cannot sing. Brit's fans are not like someone saying. her Tour is the best. If it's not like I have commented. Why The Circus Starring Britney Spears has been the Highest Grossing Tour Of North America to date. Brit has five of her albums debuted at No.1 and I'm sure the upcoming album also with the high first week sale. all her crazy fans are being crazy with their International Iconic Britney Spears. They are lucky to have chances to go to Britney's concert. for some has no chance like them. For some being jealous.
